Chapter 3

The atmosphere was getting more dangerous by the second. Elena grew even more smug when she saw that Andrew didn’t bother saying anything to make Madelyn stay.

The others might be unaware of what had happened last night, but she knew the trouble Madelyn had caused: How could Andrew still stand her when Madelyn had already resorted to stabbing him?

What was wrong with Madelyn, though? Had she not always wanted to get away from Andrew?

Elena kept her glee under wraps and stepped forward. “Let me talk to Maddie, Andrew. She always listens to what I say.

She acted like she was a caring older sister. Madelyn was already angry, so seeing Elena’s act set her off. She turned and stomped in Elena’s direction to slap her again.

Andrew stopped her after she had only taken a couple of steps. He pulled her back into his arms and asked dangerously, “What are you doing?”

Before she could answer, Elena said, “Maddie, stop kicking up such a fuss. Be good!”

Why wouldn’t this bitch just fuck off?

Madelyn wanted to tear Elena’s mouth off. She snapped at Andrew, “Let me go!”

His temples throbbed from the commotion. That’s enough!”

Madelyn instantly stopped struggling. She looked up at him with grievance,

resembling a wounded animal. Was he protecting Elena?

Everyone was secretly pleased to see this. They thought this meant Andrew had run out of patience for Madelyn’s antics.

Madelyn pouted, her eyes red as she tried to push him away. He merely tightened his grip on her and said, “Rowan!”

“I’m here, Mr. Miller,” Rowan Lopez said.

“Get rid of these people per Maddie’s orders!” Andrew lifted Madelyn into his arms and headed upstairs without another word.

Everyone froze in shock, only returning to their senses once Andrew and Madelyn. were gone. They exchanged lost looks. Even Elena was dumbfounded.

Rowan stepped forward and said coldly, “Pack your things and leave, everyone. Your

salary will be transferred to your accounts soon.”

“Mr. Lopez, this is…” George hurried forward. He thought he had misheard.

Rowan raised an eyebrow. “What? Hasn’t Mr. Miller made himself clear?”

“He has, but… what just happened?”

“You should be asking yourself what you did to Mrs. Miller.” Rowan knew the household staff had never given Madelyn the respect she deserved. She hadn’t cared in the past, though. What was wrong with her today?

Elena finally returned to her senses and felt humiliated. Her blood boiled, and she wanted nothing more than to rip Madelyn to shreds.

Andrew pinned Madelyn to the bed after carrying her upstairs. She couldn’t help. feeling a little smug as she thought about him chasing the household staff away as she wished.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and said tenderly, “You were protecting me, weren’t you, darling?”

His breathing grew heavier, and his gaze darkened at her touch. She felt a little diffident as he stared into her eyes. Then, she panicked when she sensed a wetness

around her chest.

“Has your wound torn open again?” Earlier, she had vaguely caught traces of blood. on the bandages.

She pushed him away lightly, but he did not budge. His warm breath fanned over her ear, tickling her and making her feel things. “Get up so that I can see your wound.”

“Tell me what you’re up to,” Andrew said coldly, ignoring her request. Why did she fire the household staff and slap Elena, whom she trusted unconditionally?

Was this another trick to make him put his guard down since she had failed to take his life? She had boundless energy for these things..

Madelyn knew he would not believe her just yet. After all, before this morning, she had done everything possible to get away from him. Now, however…

“The only thing I’m up to now is to make sure you get better as soon as possible.” She didn’t know how to explain herself, so she could only shamelessly avoid the subject.

Andrew propped himself on his elbows to look down at her. The doubt in his eyes.

made it clear that he didn’t believe her.

Chapter!

Madelyn looked at his shirt–the blood was already starting to seep through it. She immediately cast aside her thoughts about him not believing her as heartache colored her gaze. “Look, it’s bleeding again!”

He had even carried her upstairs just now! Did he have a death wish? She looked at him reproachfully and said, “Can’t you stop making things harder for yourself?”

Then, she reached for him, wanting to unbutton his shirt so that she could see how bad the wound was. He stopped her, making her cry out, “What are you doing? Let me go!”

“Maddie…”

Madelyn wrested her hands out of his grip and unbuttoned his shirt. Her expression turned ugly when she saw that the bandages were the ones she had put on.

“Didn’t you go to the hospital?” She thought he had gone to the hospital after making her pass out. It looked like she was wrong.

Andrew stared at her, evidently suspicious of her actions. He asked, “Will you go with

me?”

“Of course. Come on, I’ll take you there.” She nodded vigorously, making his gaze

soften a little.

Once set free, she grabbed the first aid kit and tended to the wound again. Then, she helped him change into something clean. Her actions were smooth and fluid. It was as if she was used to doing these things and caring for her husband.

Andrew had not taken his eyes off her since they came upstairs. He couldn’t help. thinking that she was putting on quite a good act. He wouldn’t expose her just yet. In fact, he would applaud her if she could keep this act up for the rest of their lives!

“That’s more like it. Let’s go.” Madelyn held his hand naturally, and he looked down at

1. it.

He looked back up at her. She looked into his eyes, her gaze guileless and bright. If all of this was just an act… Andrew didn’t dare imagine what he would do to destroy her.

When they headed downstairs

they saw the household staff filing out of the house,

looking dismayed. Surprisingly, Elena was still around, consoling George.

“Don’t worry, George. You can come back once Andrew’s not mad anymore, and I’ll give Maddie a proper talk about this.”

Madelyn wondered if the bitch couldn’t understand simple words. Didn’t she tell

Elena to fuck off? This set her off again. If not for the fact that she had to take Andrew to the hospital, she would’ve charged over to Elena to give her the beating of a lifetime.

Rowan stepped forward respectfully when he saw Andrew and Madelyn come downstairs. “Mr. Miller.”

Andrew nodded and gazed coldly at George and Elena. Before he could say anything, Madelyn dragged him to the entrance. “Let’s go to the hospital first!”

As for Elena… Since she insisted on being shameless, Madelyn would teach her a lesson once they returned from the hospital.

Andrew’s gaze softened when he saw how worried she was for him. He smiled almost imperceptibly.

Elena tried to suppress her jealousy and rage when she saw Madelyn and Andrew tonether. She told George, “You should leave first, George.”

Then, she approached Madelyn and Andrew. Her jealousy almost burned her to a crisp when she saw their clasped hands. “Are you and Maddie going out, Andrew? I’m about to head home, so could you guys drop me off? I can take the chance to. speak to Maddie.”

Even though Madelyn had humiliated her in front of so many people, she still wanted to take Madelyn somewhere private to understand what had changed. At the same time, she wanted to have some time alone with Andrew. To her dismay, Andrew didn’t even spare her a glance.

Madelyn told Andrew to get in first when the car doors were unlocked. She turned to see Elena shamelessly following them and grabbed her by the collar, snarling, “You’d better already be gone when I come back.”

“Maddie-”

“Fuck off!”

Once again, Elena was frightened by the ruthlessness in Madelyn’s eyes. What had gone wrong? Why was Madelyn, the fool, treating her like this? Had she noticed something?
